Jose Lobaton was only in the game so the pitcher did not have to come up to bat.
- The pitcher was only up to bat (in the four hole) because Maddon forfeited the DH.
– Maddon forfeited the DH after Wil Myers left with an injury and moved Matt Joyce (the DH) to the outfield. He chose that despite having Delmon Young on the bench.
